Let me guess....Duck on the table?

You know, at first I thought you had one of the strangest screen names out there, but now that I know what "layout" means I think it's pretty cool and original. I had it in my mind that "layout" was something that happened after a lot of Budweiser and took place halfway between the garage and...

Depending on how the dealer acquired the truck, he may have been running up whats called flooring fee's to the OE and may need to sell it at maximum profit just to pay the fee's. If he does a "deal" he may not have enough to cover what he owes the OE. When times are tight and he doesn't have a...

Panther Unit #??? even if the decals are off there may well be a shadow still. Easier than finding a VIN number. Is it a tractor still or a converted straight truck?

You got a couple things working against you right now. one is you are trading in a Sterling. Dealers are worried people will not want to buy used Sterlings for fear they won't be able to get parts or service as Sterling is no more. This is complete BS but public opinion is rarely rooted in any...

There are myths out there that a Spinner will "pull" the additive package out of your oil. It is completely false. I came into a fleet once that had these units installed on every truck. I did not put them on the new trucks I bought as the benifits for a fleet that sold it's trucks at 500,000...

If I am within 3 hours of home (Kitchener ON) I will deadhead home after waiting a day. The cost of showers and other things usually adds up to 12-15 bucks a day. 3 hours of driving only costs 20 bucks in fuel (this week:rolleyes:). It seems any loads that pickup (in Canada) within 3 hours of...

Piper One is the name of my company. The namesake and chairman of the board is my best friend. The avatars are random self caricatures of its primary employee.

Lake Agassiz eh? Moot, congratulations!!! You just completed your first thermo-uncontained glacier Reaction Drill!!! You are truly a hero!

I think the 5 post limit is a good one. If it is someones attempt to slander a carrier because they are mad at them, and they decide to just go online wherever they can and gripe...chances are they will not take the time to know about the 5 post requirement. If they take the time to put in 5...

Amen to that one Linda!!

Exactly how any of us would think, be co-operative and we'll get out faster. Turns out that's exactly what they now want to use to hang us.

Changing the steers out is required to keep your front alignment right. If you lower the back end you will change the caster angle of the front. You could get it shimmed to correct that but...the frame rake or angle will be wrong. Most KW run with a negative rake (nose up) but if you exceed the...

Proper gearing for a 3126 will give you 2000 rpm at 60 to 63 MPH. This explains why the engine feels better to you at 70 MPH in your case as that is 2000 rpm. Changing to a 255 or other small tire may come back to bite you. These tires are not always readily available on the road if needed...

Mine runs around 170 My GM duramax runs about 160 My oatmeal I had for breakfast was 130 but cooled off once I climbed the hill er.... stairs.

Almost forgot... Some of the new 08's and 09's are having driveshaft hanger brg and u-joint problems. I've had one go and started to hear another one on last night's trip. Another forum I belong to for Sprinter owners is starting to see a trend. Once it is out of warranty I will be getting a...

Tell the Canadian guy to switch to Telus, might not be the best service but they have a North America plan that is pretty cheap (200 bucks for 1000 anytime anywhere minutes with no roaming or LD) I think as more companies go to E-logs the scalehouse guys will become more educated at using these...

I hope the EO decals get people out of their trucks. When I left the J in Walton yesterday there were 11 vans up front and nobody wanted to socialize. Now if I could only figure out why other FX drivers don't seem to want to talk to other FX drivers. I shower every day and smell nice (in a...

Layout/Turtle in 2012!!! The dream ticket!!!

Can we find a way to tax you on the other three? Ya (national pride inserted here) we are better at taxes too:p!!
